In an interview with Purepeople, Elodie Gossuin, already mother of two pairs of twins, spoke of her desire to have a fifth child. A desire that her husband Bertrand Lacherie does not share. “My boyfriend is older than me and when I mentioned him several times, he said no several times,” she admitted.
One more? Already the mother of four children, two pairs of twins – Jules and Rose born in 2007, and Joséphine and Léonard, born in 2013 – Elodie Gossuin could see herself having a fifth child, as she confided in an interview with Purepeople. “I thought for a long time about a fifth baby but hey, I'm going to be 44, I think that biologically it's still possible“, said Miss France 2001, who represented France at Miss Universe, slippery as she was”in perimenopause“, which could prevent her from getting pregnant. But the most complicated part remains convincing her husband, Bertrand Lacherie.
“My boyfriend is older than me and when I mentioned it several times, he said no several times. Each time, he replied: 'If you want, but with someone else.' And I didn't find another potential father otherwise I would have had a fifth child, that's it“, continued Elodie Gossuin, who compensates for her desire to have children with animals. “We're happy, it's a nice tribe, but it's not because we're happy that we have to lock ourselves away like that, so at the moment, I compensate by adopting lots of animalsI adopted five more chickens, a rabbit, soon another dog… I compensate, I make transfers.“
“Life is full of surprises“: at 44, Elodie Gossuin still hopes to have a fifth child
However, Elodie Gossuin does not despair of convincing her husband. “It's not a closed subject, it's not a taboo, we'll talk about it again, I don't know, life is full of surprises“, she confided, full of hope. And it's not the mental load that accompanies the birth of another child that scares her… even if she would prefer that Bertrand Lacherie help her a little more “The mental load explodes on me, it knocks me out. I feel the weight of managing the administration. He's going to hate me but, just yesterday, my guy asked me how to get a RIB from our account… The guy, he still doesn't know how to open the bank app, he still doesn't know how to send a paper to the health insurance or mutual insurance. […] I too would like not to have to deal with that.“That’s understandable.
